Overview
The 2017 BMW 4 Series is a compact coupe offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $42,150. For that price, it mainly competes with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Audi TT, and the Cadillac ATS Coupe. Between 2 trims, the 4 Series offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.0L turbocharged Inline-4 capable of making 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 320 horsepower-making 3.0L turbocharged Inline-6. Both engines are mated to a standard 8-speed automatic transmission or an optional 6-speed manual transmission.
The 4 Series reaches 60 MPH from zero in 5.8 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 5.0 seconds with the 3.0L turbocharged Inline-6. Depending on the powertrain, the 4 Series can manage a combined fuel economy between 25 and 27 MPG. While we're on the topic of choices, the 16 striking colors the 4 Series comes in really pull you towards itself.
